The action

Over a couple weeks spanning Canada Day, more than a dozen buyers inspected this two-bedroom-plus-den suite at the Blythwood at Huntington condominium complex.

“We had a lot of interest. Some people came back two to three times, which is typical of today’s environment, where people aren’t making spontaneous decisions,” agent Jerry Hammond said.

“Only a few [units] come out of this building at any given time, especially at that price point, and it’s a very popular price point under $2-million in today’s market.”

What they got

The two Blythwood buildings sit on a short cul-de-sac just south of Sunnydene Park across from the CNIB. This roughly 950 square-foot unit has an additional 450 square feet of outdoor living space on its south-facing terrace.

Inside, the living and dining areas are open concept with a U-shaped kitchen towards the rear and a den and two bedrooms situated off to the sides.

The agent’s take

The dining area is open-concept, with a U-shaped kitchen.Hammond International Properties Ltd.

“It’s one of the smaller suites and there are not a lot of them,” Mr. Hammond said.

Its exterior space was, “very unique with a magnificent terrace and a garden area at the back portion, and you can barbecue.

“It’s premier in terms of its location in Lawrence Park and it’s set within a ravine, so it is not typical; you’re not surrounded by a concrete jungle.”
